obama crossed the rubicon. it took a series of positions that democrats in the past have been reluctant to take. he mobilized his new coalition. you understand it would give them more headaches with older, blue-collar whites. he moved truth legalize the dream act for students. he accepted an incredibly polarized fight on contraception for the catholic church. this was a moment where he kind of reached an understanding of who is likely to vote for you and who is not. this is without a doubt the future of the democratic coalition. it consists mostly a white above the median income and minorities below it. there were able to mobilize and half of the old coalition. half of the voters are non college white said. the projectory is unmistakable. but your projectory is unmistakable for the red and blue states. >> the passage of the tax initiative in california referendum indicates that the walls are coming down and some things from before. remember from the 1984 convention. he talked about raising taxes. that is no lon

who see very big differences between obama foreign policy and bush foreign policy and obama and civil liberty and bush and civil liberties. on civil liberties, obama ended systematic torture, period. it does not happen now. now, there are some individual circumstances that they're pointing to that i don't believe have been fully verified jet and that individuals may do bad things at times. there's no human rights organizations suggesting that it had the policy that bush did. and on the broader foreign policy question, i think it is a huge, huge earth shattering difference that obama is on the side of bottom up democracy in the middle east, in countries even when the dictators are our allies. it is unheard of for an american president to push out an ally who is a dictator because the people have turned on that person. i'll defer the point. under reagan, that was not -- you can jump in. >> i don't the issue of philippines that well. i don't think it was an across the board policy for reagan to turn our dictator friends or play dictator. >> is it across the board policy in this administr

the issue almost certainly helped president obama and did not hurt president obama. the lesson is not lost on the republican party. here are my concluding thoughts. it is a complicated history to were the long road of marriage equality, the beginning is a complicated answer about backlash and the popular analysis of what is going on politically. what i want to conclude with, this has been neglected by the backlash theorists, how the courts have advanced marriage equality. i think there have been three things about what the courts have done. from my point of view, the most important is a fantastically important setting for capabilities. the word marriage in our vocabulary only meant different sects. after they linguistically, the notion of same-sex marriage entered our vocabulary and is now no longer in quote marks. courts are capable of reversing the burden of political inertia as well as giving publicity to an issue and putting it on the public agenda. and in massachusetts, the first state to recognize marriage equality even though it was for a fraction of the peopl

the obama administration is ready to fill vacancies. this will have rebels all the way down the hierarchy. what i would like to discuss tonight is how we got from where we are, the politics of patronage, the challenges of recruiting political appointees , how the system results in major delays and managerial destructions and how it undermines presidential leadership and good management. and finally, possible remedies for reforming the system. why do we get mad at government incompetence? because we expect a competent and effective bureaucracy. you create bureaucracies that hire competent workers that bring specialization, expertise, accountability, and continuity. there is no alternative in large-scale systems to organize great amounts of people to accomplish a goal or mission. this is not the way the united states began. it took about a century to figure it out and half a century to implement. the spoils system of the nineteenth century, there has been a constant tension between partisan control political appointees in career experts.
